Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G 512GB 8GB is now in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 68,000, brand new and sealed. Announced on 27 August 2026, it is the top model in Xiaomi's 2026 Redmi Note line, with a 6.83-inch 120Hz AMOLED screen, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 chipset, a 10,000mAh battery with 100W charging and a 50MP main camera with optical stabilisation. This 512GB variant uses UFS 4.1 storage, the fastest type Xiaomi fits in the series. Find the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.

Designed for content creators, real estate agents, field engineers and executives moving between Westlands, Upper Hill and Nairobi CBD, the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G handles the jobs that drain and damage cheaper phones. IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K sealing means it survives a spilled drink, a Nairobi downpour or a dusty Kajiado site visit. The 512GB holds roughly 100,000 photos or 160 hours of 1080p footage, so photographers shooting weddings in Karen never delete on the day. Safaricom 5G support on the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G means large client files upload from the field before you reach the office.

Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock only the 256GB Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G, Mascom International carries the 512GB tier for buyers who film 4K and keep years of client records on the phone. Against the Samsung Galaxy A56 5G and OnePlus Nord 5 in the same price band, it charges faster and carries double the battery of the Galaxy A56 5G. Customers across Nairobi tell us the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G replaced a phone and a power bank in one purchase. Test it at our Kimathi Street store, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery countrywide.

Yes, if you shoot video or keep work files on the phone. The extra 256GB holds roughly 25 more hours of 4K footage or 50,000 more photos, and the 512GB Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G uses faster UFS 4.1 storage, so apps and camera bursts load quicker. There is no microSD slot, so the storage you buy today is the storage you have for the life of the phone. Spread over two years, KSh 68,000 works out to about KSh 93 per day for a phone you never have to clean out.

Yes. The Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G supports 5G bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 28, 40, 41, 77 and 78, which cover Safaricom 5G in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu and Nakuru, and Airtel Kenya 5G where it is live. It falls back to 4G LTE everywhere else with no setup needed. Both SIM slots accept a 5G line, so a Safaricom personal number and an Airtel business number can each pull 5G speeds. Wi-Fi 6 handles Safaricom Home Fibre and office networks at full speed.

Under an hour from empty to full, with the 100W charger that ships in the box. A ten-minute top-up before leaving the house adds enough charge for a working morning. The 10,000mAh silicon-carbon cell in the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G lasts two days of heavy use with video, navigation and hotspot on, and Xiaomi rates it for up to three days of lighter use. It also supports 27W reverse wired charging, so during a Kenya Power outage it can refill a laptop's battery partially or a second phone fully through the USB-C port.

The Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G wins on battery, charging speed, screen brightness and water sealing; the Samsung Galaxy A56 5G wins on update length and resale value. The Galaxy A56 5G carries a 5000mAh battery and 45W charging against 10,000mAh and 100W here, and its 6.7-inch screen peaks at 1200 nits against 3500 nits on the Redmi. Samsung promises six years of updates. Pick Samsung if you keep phones for five years; pick the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G if stamina and outdoor readability matter more. Mascom International stocks both.

Choose the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G if you film, travel upcountry, work outdoors or hate charging. Videographers, real estate agents showing houses in Runda and Kileleshwa, and NGO field staff in Turkana and Marsabit fit well. Look elsewhere if you want a small phone, wireless charging or a periscope zoom lens. For zoom, the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE at Mascom International is a better fit. If your budget is closer to KSh 35,000, the Redmi Note 17 4G gives similar screen size without 5G.

Yes, better than almost any phone under KSh 70,000 in Kenya. The Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G carries IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings and is tested for 72 hours at 2 metres, meaning it withstands submersion and high-pressure hot water jets, so rain, a dropped glass or a hosing-down after a dusty Naivasha trip are no concern. Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front handles drops onto concrete far better than older glass. The plastic frame and back flex instead of shattering. A case comes in the box.

Strong for the price. The 50MP main camera on the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G uses a 1/1.95-inch sensor with f/1.5 aperture and optical image stabilisation, which means steadier handheld video and cleaner night shots in Nairobi's dim restaurants. It records 4K at 30fps, and so does the 32MP front camera, so TikTok and YouTube creators can vlog in 4K from either side. An 8MP ultrawide captures wide property interiors and group shots. There is no telephoto lens, so zoom beyond 2x relies on cropping.

No to both. The Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G has no memory card slot, which is why Mascom International recommends the 512GB tier, and no 3.5mm jack, so wired earphones need a USB-C pair or a small adapter. In exchange you get stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, Bluetooth 6.0 for stable wireless audio, an infrared blaster for televisions and decoders, and NFC for tap-to-pay on Visa and Mastercard terminals where supported. Most buyers find the trade worthwhile once they hear the speakers.

Xiaomi keeps the full charging kit in the box, so the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G reaches its 100W speed from day one without a separate purchase. The retail box contains:

Buyers switching from Samsung or iPhone notice the difference at once: nothing extra to buy before the phone is ready for work.
